Advanced Nintendo Entertainment System (ANES)
This repo outlines the process for modding the NES to use 2 PPUs for advanced graphical features.<br>I don't expect anyone to actually bother building this so the docs might be kind of half-assed at times.<br>Check out my modified fork of Mesen2 if you'd like to play with this concept without modding your NES.<br>See the related projects section for some demos that take advantage of the dual-PPU setup.
Watch the video!
Features

More sprites!
Parallax scrolling!
Schematics
KiCad files can be found in the hardware directory.
Materials
You'll want to start with two consoles. One to modify and another as a parts donor.
quantity<br>location<br>part number<br>description
U1, U2<br>RP2C02<br>PPUs desoldered from both consoles
U3<br>AS6C6264-55PCN<br>Static RAM for PPU2

U5<br>74LS139<br>Demultiplexer desoldered from donor console
U1<br>EMS-26405<br>40 pin wire wrap socket for PPU1
J1
20 pin female pin headers to receive the wire wrap socket
U5/J3
16 pin socket for 74LS139
RN1
10K 1/4 watt EXT pull down resitors
6x8cm prototype board
U2
40 pin socket for PPU2 (optional)
U3
28 pin socket for AS6C6264-55PCN (optional)
U4
20 pin socket for 74LS373 (optional)
Build
1. Cut Prototype Board
The 6x8cm prototype boards listed in the materials section is slightly too large and interferes with the expansion port.
2. Desolder the Following
RP2C02 (U5) from the console you want to modify and your donor console.
74LS373 (U2) from your donor console.
74LS139 (U3) from your donor console.
3. Move Capacitors
These capacitors may be in the way of the dual-PPU board.
Fold them down flat or relocate them to the other side of the motherboard.
4. Solder Headers
Solder 2 20 pin female headers where the PPU used to be.
5. Build the Dual-PPU Board
Follow the provided schematics and photos to assemble the dual-PPU board. Good luck.
4. Install the Demultiplexer
remove pins 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15 from a 16 pin IC socket.<br>Bend pins 2, 3, 4, and 5 out horizontally.<br>Attach the socket on top of the console's 74LS139, soldering the remaining pins 1, 8, and 16.<br>Solder a jumper wire from pin 2 of the socket to CPU address line A12
Solder a jumper wire from pin 3 of the socket to the console's 74LS139 pin 5
Solder a jumper wire from pins 4 and 5 of the socket to the /CE pins of PPU1 and PPU2 respectively.
Install your donor 74LS139 in the socket.
5. Install Dual-PPU board
Plug the dual-PPU board into the female pin headers.<br>You're done.
